     TOP 10 TACTICS OF THE NEW MINORITY IN THE POSTCONTRACT PERIOD

  (Mr. HAYWORTH asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. HAYWORTH. Mr. Speaker, from the home office in Scottsdale, AZ--
here are the top 10 tactics of the new minority in the postcontract 
period.
  No. 10. Change the name of ``Medicare'' to ``Mediscare'';
  No. 9. Hire Freddy Krueger as the new liberal Democrat spokesman;
  No. 8. Get Leon Panetta to take likeability lessons;
  No. 7. Set up a new political action committee--the ``Whine 
producers''--w-h-i-n-e;
  No. 6. Insist that it is relevant to carp, complain, and sit on the 
sidelines instead of offering policy alternatives;
  No. 5. Put an ostrich ranch here on the Hill to mimic the practice of 
putting heads in the sand to hide from problems;
  No. 4. Insist that a bigger Federal Government is the only way to 
meet any challenge;
  No. 3. Get the Department of Education to change the name of 
``addition'' to ``subtraction'';
  No. 2. Revise history to say the credibility gap was a good thing;
  And the No. 1 postcontract tactic of the new minority--grouse, 
grouch, grumble, and mumble--do anything but cooperate.
